how much do you drink??

[l_maclean]

I've been having sore BH's last couple of days, and read that dehydration can cause it - so had a bit of a nosey online, and apparently we should be drinking 2L a day!

Figured id monitor this, so ive been drinking outta bottles (juice bottles not baby bottles. lol) rather than glasses, but im struggling to get to 2L - feels like ive been drinking all day, and ive not even had 3 - 500ml bottles yet.

how much is everyone else drinking??

Reckon I am drinking 2litres a day....that's 3.5 uk pints and what with milk in breakfast, tea, water, squash I reckon I do that. If I don't I am now getting cankles!! Yuck!!!

 

[pinkyprincess]

I drink at least 2l of water I always have

 

[Lilelephant]

I never used to drink hardly anything but I have been trying to drink 2 litres since bfp! Some days I find easier than others

 

[l_maclean]

i didnt really think i drank all that little - but im struggling with this 2 litres thing.

I hardly ever drink. I just seem to forget to!

 

[jomc]

since going on maternity leave I drink alot more so Im prob more or less around the 2L mark. But I dont drink plain water, I drink squash so its a bit easier

 

[l_maclean]

im drinking squash - i cant stand plain water - would have no chance getting anywhere with that. lol

 

[NinjaKitty]

I try for 2ltr a day but prob only manage 1500ml,

 

[jojo_2012]

I drink lots. At least 2 litres. Trying to get my 9 year old to drink is the issue in my house

 

[Verity2011]

Same as pinky here - but I only really drink water (never drank hot drinks ever) so I have always drunk about that much in water. You might be drinking more than you think if you count in milk (cereal) and hot drinks

 

[gemmatron]

I've always aimed to drink 2L cos it helps with weight loss lol, i am so thirsty all the time now tho so i've constantly got a drink of squash on the go!
My friend has bought herself a 2l bottle of water, then fills it up every day and puts it in the fridge so she knows how much she's drunk.

 

[vickib_1984]

I drink about 8 pints of squash a day!!!!!! But then again I have to to keep my kidney clear wether I'm pregnant or not lmao xxx

 

[flaxen]

Probably about a 1/4 of what Im meant to, I cant stand water or flavoured water, Ive had 2 cups of tea today and 1 cup of milk and thats about normal every day.

 

[l_maclean]

I dont have breakfast - so no milk in cereal - dont do hot drinks either. So over the last couple of days ive been filling up 500ml bottles with squash - thats kinda how i discovered i drink shockingly little.

[pinkyprincess]

eat breakfast!!! It's so important!

 

[Princess81]

I have had to make sure that I eat breakfast otherwise I still feel nauseous even at this stage. Like I had to get up early today to eat cos I felt sick!!
I probably drink more at the weekends cos I don't think about it much at work

 

[Emmsy29]

Omg! I only dink about 3 glasses of juice a day!! I never drink. Even when not pregnant. Blimey better start drinking more! X

 

[Lilmoomin]

I have found that I have to eat breakfast too otherwise I feel really ill, even tho I never did before I was pregnant!
Drink wise, I drink loads of soda water with no added sugar vimto cordial in it, definitely drinking more than 2L a day! X x

 

[Zoeox]

I hardly ever eat breakfast only when I am off work because then I have time otherwise I'm rushing around. I never have eaten breakfast
Also, I don't drink that much either and again never have done. The past couple of weeks I have found myself drinking a little bit more as I am constantly thirsty but other than that I don't drink much. xx
